The guys behind this new board wanted to make skateboarding more accessible and easier to learn for beginners, kids and adults.
They’ve come up with a leash activated break fixed on the back truck.
Stepping onto the longboard is now easier. No risk of the board flying off from under your feet. Just step on the back of the board and pull the leash brake to stop the board from moving. Once you’ve got both feet on the board, simply release the brake.
You can slightly pull the leash to slow the board down whenever you feel you’re starting to gain too much speed. Holding the leash also stops the rider from falling forwards.
More advanced riders will also find it useful down steep hills!
